<FrancescoUgolini> KageSenshi, it will be a good thing 
<FrancescoUgolini> eof
<FrancescoUgolini> ChitleshGoorah, 
<ChitleshGoorah> answering to KageSenshi:
<ChitleshGoorah> 1) the mentoring procedure isn't in place yet :)
<ChitleshGoorah> 2) after any event listed on wiki/FedoraEvents, the ambassador in charge should send
<ChitleshGoorah> a report to the mailing list: Fedora-ambassadors
<ChitleshGoorah> eof
<ChitleshGoorah> take for example: CLT and fosdem :)
<KageSenshi> ?
<KageSenshi> the reports .. do it have a standard format or something?
<KageSenshi> eof
<FrancescoUgolini> You can use the layout used by expert ambassadors or you can just create your own
<ChitleshGoorah> no, but you report everything, what you did, what you recommend to do ...
<ChitleshGoorah> in the future
<saadsaidi> !
<ChitleshGoorah> and what are the problems you have encountered so that the fedora-ambassador can help you to solve it in the future
<ChitleshGoorah> i mean fedora-ambassador PROJECT
<ChitleshGoorah> eof
<FrancescoUgolini> saadsaidi
<saadsaidi> I was planning a siminar about open source, Fedora project, in my old university.
<saadsaidi> collecting information, and making a siminar of this type is a bit old since, here in lebanon people some how fear open source
<ChitleshGoorah> !
<saadsaidi> any advices, support?
<saadsaidi> eof
<FrancescoUgolini> ChitleshGoorah
<ChitleshGoorah> saadsaidi: what do you mean by "fear open source" ?
<ChitleshGoorah> knowing the fact that there are a few ambassadors here, ill recommend you ask advices and support to the mailing list
<saadsaidi> !
<ChitleshGoorah> eof
<FrancescoUgolini> saadsaidi
<saadsaidi> by fear i mean, open source is not that popular here, since my country is a bit small, i bit you might not find it on a papper map ;), and there is a that big monopoly .... strangling the market
<arases> !
* BobJensen has quit (Connection reset by peer)
<saadsaidi> note that there is also a large numer of people who are into open source but can not find correct guide.
<saadsaidi> eof
<FrancescoUgolini> arases

<FrancescoUgolini> http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/
<FrancescoUgolini> put your event there
<FrancescoUgolini> eof
<ChitleshGoorah> !
<FrancescoUgolini> ChitleshGoorah
<ChitleshGoorah> as FrancescoUgolini said, yes
<ChitleshGoorah> this is because the fedora ambassador project can monitor what is being done and by whom
<ChitleshGoorah> at the same time, we will know what are the difficulties ambassadors are encoutering
<ChitleshGoorah> so that work can be done to improve those difficulties/weakness
<ChitleshGoorah> that is why we recommend ambassadors to join ambassador meetings when they have events
<ChitleshGoorah> so that others can help the ambassador in charge of the event for the sole interest to give a professional image of fedora at the booth :)
<ChitleshGoorah> eof :)

<saadsaidi> i mean any ideas thoughts, a brain storming thread
<saadsaidi> eof
